My Life & Other Stuff I Made Up

Step aside, Andy Griffiths, there's a new kid in town—and he's bringing his gigantic booger collection with him A series of surprisingly funny, adventurous, sometimes gross short stories. They're linked by the main character—a kid called Tom Weekly—and his friends, family, and dog who show up in each adventure. From talking about poo to a terrible accident with false teeth, and rehydrating a gigantic booger collection to one seriously angry magpie, these stories will make you snort with laughter and cringe in embarrassment. A nail-biting—no, make that toe-biting—thrill ride through one boy's life.
